Colin B's Comments

I'm no scientist, but my entire life i've been skeptical of carbon-dating being a perfect science that nobody could question. Take a fossil for example. How do scientists know beyond a shadow of a doubt that nothing happened to the fossil that would cause the fossil to lose carbon at a higher/lower rate? Like if a fossil was a million years old, and in the 10,000th year something affected the fossil to make the carbon different. I duno, I just think its odd for people to dig something out of the ground, do a carbon test and be like "ya its exactly 4.6 million years old and nobody can question that cuz muh carbon dating". I'm not a science denier (i always go to the doctor when I get sick or have injuries). I think you get what I mean.
